I must be missing something.  I read everywhere that these links should bring up member pages but the only bring up my index:

/index.php/member/1/
/index.php/member/profile
/index.php/member/login
/index.php/member/memberlist

etc…etc.

I just updated the core version with commercial pro version.  How can I enable the built in member functionality.

It looks like no links from the base theme work…

I fixed the issue after a little searching.  I had a feeling it had to do with ascertaining the uri path due to similar problems I have had in CodeIgnitor server installs.  Here is are links for what helped me for anyone with a similar problem:

This one solved it for me…i guess my server runs php as a cgi process…whoooda thunk:

I am curious why EE doesn’t have something like this:

/*
|—————————————————————————————————————
| URI PROTOCOL
|—————————————————————————————————————
|
| This item determines which server global should be used to retrieve the
| URI string.  The default setting of “AUTO” works for most servers.
| If your links do not seem to work, try one of the other delicious flavors:
|
| ‘AUTO’      Default - auto detects
| ‘PATH_INFO’      Uses the PATH_INFO
| ‘QUERY_STRING’  Uses the QUERY_STRING
| ‘REQUEST_URI’      Uses the REQUEST_URI
| ‘ORIG_PATH_INFO’  Uses the ORIG_PATH_INFO
|
*/

...or even better a control panel config settings for acquiring the path

Lets see if 2.0 brings this capability considering it is based on CI…I would imagine so.

You are going to need to force query strings.  Go to:  CP Home ›  Admin ›  System Preferences ›  Output and Debugging Preferences   and set force query strings to “yes”

Thanks for the reply but I already fixed it without having to force query strings.

Sounds good.  Closing this thread out, but please don’t hesitate to post again should anything else come up!
